★★★★★ Customer Reviews
We are extremely proud to have been creating beautiful body care and home fragrance for the last 20 years.
We attribute our success to our talented team, our luxurious products plus brilliant customer relationships. We feel that at this point in time the most important journey we can take is that to sustainability. Due to the alarming environmental state of our planet, we feel we all must do our bit – both as individuals and organisations.
This decision was a giant step forward for us as a company and an important part of our ethical collection, Ministry of Soap. We are incredibly aware of the threat that global warming and climate change pose. With this in mind, we felt that the best way for us to have a positive impact was to produce locally. This allows us to reduce the environmental implications of outsourcing across the globe, curbing the harsh CO2 implications of shipping and providing further jobs for the local community. Within our locally made soap we use only RSPO certified, ‘segregated’ palm oil, this ensures that we do no harm to environment or endangered species as we work in conjunction with local farmers.
Watch this BBC Documentary with local make-up artist Emmy Burbidge as she heads to Papua New Guinea to find out more about the importance of sustainable palm oil.
